VOUCHER CODE DEALS CONCEPT PLAN!

Not open for further replies.
We sold 80 cards in ten minutes using a voucher code only available via a private forum link....and still we only have 47 of the orders fully downloaded.

Is it any wonder that thousands of people trying to buy the same cards at the same time when 3080 launched crippled those systems?

Maybe next time I say that our current systems cant cope with the current demand levels, people will start to believe me ;)

I think it's fair to say that a lot of people are underestimating the actual level of end user demand and miners probably aren't the main issue.

Complaining OCUK are not giving you what you want but then they actually are if the trial goes through okay it actually says so in the original post. So complaining about nothing.

If you see my posts you will see its well under the 1000+ count, from what I understand from the OP was 1000+ Posts PLUS at least 6 months member of the forums. But still if you read my comments properly you will clearly see that I am referring to the members who are under the 1000+ posts required AND been a member for years (some 10+ years)

I wanted a 6800xt and a 6800xt is what I got, installed in my machine in December. Unforunately I did pay over the odds for it but I am happy, but thanks for your concern :)
 
Great idea, have a while to go before I'd be in with a chance to bag one but at least there is hope. I resisted buying a series x yesterday:o will save the pennies a while longer. Thanks Gibbo and team for trying to help us out :cool:

I don't think you *can* open it out further than the MM if this is how it works! I didn't order but seemed smooth as an end user for it with a 10 minute window. Well done to you and the team.

and if you read the OP properly you will see that it says public forum members will also get a chance to buy a card, ie under 1000 posts regardless of length of joining.

So whats the problem ??
 
If it took 10 minutes to shift 80 of the 100 cards, the biggest positive is that if OcUK has more stock 500+ then there is a greater length of time that people can snag one.

Rather than having 30 seconds to F5 your heart out, you might get a 30-40 minute window to buy.

So you're saying that the MM users are the main issue right? :D

His is putting 1 card up at 10k just to test the system for the forum members only .. FYI have you seen the prices on other websites ? Very few have even close to MSRP on cards atm it won't generate bad press as no one will see it only bots and forum members :D

1 card, it looked like more than 10 to me :p

"If this goes well and the voucher code is not abused and we see steady sales, we shall then also make some SKU's available at a lower price with the use of a voucher in this public forum that all members will get a chance to buy, but rest assured if people decide to leak the voucher code and we see BOT's attempting to buy, the simple fact is this concept idea will then get pulled and won't be repeated."

My point still stands, give those with 1000+ posts a chance first and any cards left will be offered to all members ?

Someone has clearly ****** in your cornflakes this morning as your kind of arguing black is black and white is white!! ;)

i am just a normal user(can have my facebook profile if you wanna convince yourself).Yes i am mad about excluding most of your customers and making this an exclusive deal for a small proportion.I do not want to go in detail about the legal aspects of this practice ,but as someone that works in the field i can tell you this is totally wrong and unethical.

Do you always leave no spaces after full stops in legal documents?
